20s model T something?

1917 Model T. I went by the guy to drop an invite and didnt walk with my cam so phone pics gonna have to do.





Little snippit of the evening news:

[kurpal_v2]

Some more from the collection.


Some of you who saw mystic masseur may remember these boys.



Ironically, the austin was still warm from its drive to the market.


If you look closely at the number plate, you can see where they had used tape to make the car an "H".


Rumoured to be the only surviving desoto pick-up.


More after I make a hardware run

Yep, I was definatly taken back by his collection when he introduced me to it.

[kurpal_v2]

Right on with the crappy phone pics..

Oakland- Cant remember the model.


Merc 280sl, missing a few bits and pieces but still a sexy conversation piece remensiant of the early 1970's.


Chevolet- Cant remember but I was taken back when he started the car and I was awed that my rav4 was more noisy than the engine. Hell my aquarium is more noisy than the car.


Merc


Model A- Think he was present in the v8 club car show.

[Midnight_Demon]

[Rooki3]

wagonrunner, how the hell you notice that???

[wagonrunner]

wagonrunner, how the hell you notice that???

some like heavy rims, grandmother speaker box on d hood, paint they can't tell you the color, more lights than a christmas tree, and stickers to cover the sore spots.
I like finish. that one is great, but a "better" finish would have had those reflections straight.

now nothing is wrong with it eh.
i know the level of anal perfectionism required to accomplish that costs a lot of dough. And this one is done excellently to the constraints of someones compensation for someones ability.
but it's why from the pictures presented i would rate it a 8 or 9 out of 10, and not the full 10.
(note. very few things in life i would ever give a full rating. my own cynical view of life).

It could be as simple as door rubbers aging worse in certain areas, in this case.
